Ex-minister’s accounts frozen
As part of the ongoing probe and preparation
for the arraignment of a former Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-
Madueke, some investigators from the United
Kingdom have visited Nigeria to gather
evidence.
The ex-minister is under investigation over the
missing $20billion oil cash, phoney crude oil
lifting contracts, $115million poll bribery
money, the $1.092b Malabu oil deal and the
N5.2billion ($25m) oil cash paid by an Indian oil
firm for an oil block
The UK team inspected the former minister’s
multi-billion naira mansion, her £600,000 exotic
wrist watch and gold and diamond jewelry
which have been confiscated.
There were indications last night that the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) has also frozen Mrs Alison-Madueke’s
bank accounts.
The commission may attach some assets of the
ex-minister under the Interim Forfeiture Order
in Sections 26 and 29 of the EFCC Act, The
Nation learnt.
The UK investigators came into the c…

How Necessary Is College Education for You?
By Eliisa Vatanen, Finland
Second place in EssayMama Winter Essay Writing Contest
There is no person in this world who doesn't want to be happy and successful. Happiness, among other things, is conditioned by the success we achieve in society. Throughout our lives, we are constantly learning new things. In children, the desire for knowledge is mostly based on curiosity, but as people grow up, they start thinking about the benefits they can obtain from that knowledge. From all challenges I faced in my life, I realized that my own happiness depended upon the contributions I made to the society. When I get a higher degree, I will have a better chance to do the job I aim for, and support a harmonious family. As the great Aristotle said, “all men by nature desire knowledge.” To me, college education is not only related to the knowledge necessary to succeed in society; it's is also about developing character, conduct, and potential to mak…

I’ll start this by acknowledging that comments made by team
execs after the NFL draft are sometimes best taken with at least a
little grain of salt.
Much like college coaches on letter-of-intent signing day, everybody
says they got everybody they wanted where they wanted them (though I
guess this year, with the exception of Dallas).
That
said, if we take the Seahawks at their word on how the first two rounds
unfolded, then they also have to get some credit for making the right
decision with their first-round pick, allowing them to also get the
player they wanted with their second-rounder.
Recall that after acquiring an extra third-rounder
from Denver to move down from 26 to 31, the Seahawks say their choice
was to take either Texas A&M offensive lineman Germain Ifedi or
Alabama defensive tackle Jarran Reed.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) led by Ayuba Wabba says they will proceed with its planned strike despite this morning's injunction by the National Industrial Court ‎restraining organized labor from embarking on its planned strike action tomorrow May 18th.
The head of information of NLC, Benson Upah, in an interview with TheCable said‎ “‎NLC’s position has not shifted. The strike will go on tomorrow,” he said.

The online News Magazine will also close but "long-form journalism" will continue in some form.
Local news indexes for more than 40 geographical areas in England will also cease to exist.
But the BBC will continue to offer a rolling Local Live service. The BBC's Travel website is also facing the axe.
Separately, plans are being considered to merge the News Channel with the BBC's international 24-hour television news service.
While BBC Food is to go, the commercial site, BBC Good Food, will continue.
But the planned end of the BBC Food website prompted an online petition, which has attracted more than 90,000 supporters.

"I don't think that this is going to end up in litigation," but called on The Times to retract the story and apologize.
The newspaper will not be doing that. It is standing firmly behind the story, which was the product of weeks of intensive reporting.
The controversy is the latest illustration of how Trump runs against the media while simultaneously courting media attention.
The presumptive GOP nominee tweeted 14 times on Monday, and 10 of the messages were broadsides against the Times. Among other things, he said the "failing" newspaper published a "false, malicious and libelous story" that was "totally dishonest."
The denunciations rallied Trump's supporters to his side while driving more traffic to the Times web site. The story ranked #1on the Times' lists of most popular and most shared articles -- even though it was a day old and was hard to find on the Times home page.
A Times spokeswoman said the article is the news organiza…

MOBILE money in Africa comes in different flavours. The sophisticated sort, exemplified by services such as M-Pesa in Kenya, allows account-holders to transfer legal tender electronically to fellow account-holders by entering commands on a mobile phone. Popular though such services are, they have not stopped an older form of mobile money flourishing. This sort uses pre-paid mobile-airtime minutes as a de facto currency that can be transferred between phones, exchanged for cash with dealers who rent out phones, or bartered for goods and services.
Pre-paid minutes can be swapped for cash or spent in shops most easily in Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana and Uganda, says Chris Chan of Tranglo, a Malaysian firm that facilitates “airtime remittances” to mobile phones. Airtime is commonly used as money in Nigeria, too. Hannes Van Rensburg, Visa’s boss for sub-Saharan Africa, says this is partly because regulators there have made it difficult for banks to offer the newer form of mobile money.
